He has been quoted as saying they didn't take his input of last years bike into consideration. Like that the engine was too aggressive which MM complained about during the season. With him as a test rider Ducati could make some huge improvements, as much as I think he's a putz.

Who wins it next season? I actually don't think VR can. I expect JL to break (mentally) somewhere along the way. Will MM stop crashing long enough to get points? Will MV come into his own. How will the Michelins affect everyone - to that point, CC will crash his brains out next year. How exciting!

Read this morning Suzuki finished top 5 in the time sheets? Sounds like the playing field could be leveled with the tires and electronics. It'd be exciting to see another manufacturer fighting for a top spot.
